Despite the fact that every recent phone I’ve owned had a screen protector, I resisted adding one to my new XS MAX for a couple of reasons. One is that covering an edge to edge display is a whole different thing than covering the older smaller screens of previous phones. Another is that I didn’t want to do anything to detract from the beautiful high resolution OLED screen. But most importantly, I didn’t want anything to get in the way of the performance of the face recognition system and front facing camera. And most of the early screen protectors for the XS series insisted on only having one small opening for the speaker and covering the optical components with glass or plastic.

WHY THIS ONE

This one is what I wanted, the entire notch area is unobstructed to prevent any possibility of conflict with the operation of the face recognition or front camera optics. Perfect. Now what about taking away from the beauty of the screen itself.

Fortunately this screen protector also happens to be one of the thinnest tempered glass screen protectors available. It is almost impossible to see or feel the edge and it works well with my Mujjo custom leather case. The look and feel of my phone’s screen are unaffected by the screen protector and the only visible difference I can see is that when the phone is off I can see the cutout where the notch is.

I like that they include an installation guide unit, something that is usually seen with more expensive screen protectors. I also like that you get 3 protectors because everyone messes up on the first try.

ACTUAL INSTALLATION

No matter how they are made installing screen protectors can be a challenge. Here are some hints

1. Install it in your bathroom. First turn the shower on hot until there is some steam in the air, this will cause any dust particles to fall from the air. Not too much steam though.

2. Turn on any air cleaners you have and place them nearby. Turn on the bathroom exhaust vent van if you have one but don’t open any windows.

3. Remove your pets from anywhere near where you’re working. It is not necessary to remove pythons, goldfish or rhinoceroses.

4. Turn off the HVAC if you have forced air heating/cooling.

5. Work fast. Have everything you need available and as soon as you clean your phone’s screen and use the tack strip to remove any final dust be ready to install the glass immediately

REAL LIFE

Being as careful as I could I did end up with one large air bubble right in the middle of the screen but all I had to do is lift up on the glass and let it sink slowly down again. It’s really almost like magic to watch it adhere and push any air bubbles out all by itself. Note that they tell you that this will not go all the way to the edge. It’s true. It actually stops quite a bit from the edge. I’m not sure if I would like that if I wasn’t using a case with a raised edge. Also note that when the screen protector is perfectly centered the notch is not. You would probably never notice that but I used a notch enhancer to verify that it is very slightly off center. Finally, I don’t care how good this is, a low cost screen protector is never going to equal what Apple does to their screens to protect against fingerprints. This screen protect does attract dust a little more, it does get a little dirty faster and it definitely shows fingerprints more than the phone’s actual screen. It’s just something you have to accept.

It’s impossible for anyone to make any valid comment about how it works to protect a phone because everyone uses and handles their phone differently. Some people are careful and some people are careless, who wants to know that some careless person cracked their screen. I don’t. I fall into the careful category but I do carry my phone in my front jeans pocket and scratch resistance is more important to me than shatter resistance. So far I am happy that this protector seems to be doing very well helping to protect against scratches and there hasn’t been any peeling away or bubbles. In other words I installed it and simply forget it’s there. Just what I was looking for.

3.0 out of 5 starsFantastic...as long as you don’t get ones with permanent air bubbles

January 17, 2019

Let me start by saying if you get a pack with 3 perfect screen protectors then this would be a 5 star product.HOWEVER, 2 of the 3 that came in my pack had tiny factory defect air bubbles permanently etched on the screen. You can see them slightly in the right light but sadly you probably will not until you put the sheild on. I went through 2 shields with full install and had to remove them and throw them away because of the factory defect bubbles near the left side of the screen (***NOTE***This is not air caught between the screen and the sheild/protector, that looks different and it is very apparent once it’s on the phone that it’s a defect in the surface of the sheild).The third one was my lucky charm and went on perfect and was clear of any defects.

The install should be done in a clean area of your house that does not have a lot of surface dust on the counter or you will get contaminates of dust on the “sticky” side of your protector. Although you get a set of stickers to use and they absolutely work to remove dust. Once the phone is clean and you put a clean screen on, you simply use the tiny spreader it comes with and a little pressure and work the air out from between the screen and the screen shield.Once the sheild is on (and it’s a clean non-defective sheild) it looks great, protects the screen well and (unlike plastic phone case built in shields) you don’t lose any tactile response.So there you go. Great product but I was a little upset that I bought a 3 pack and it took 3 to get 1 that wasn’t defective. Thus it cost them 2 stars on the review.

Just two days after I installed the screen protector on my husband's phone, he accidentally dropped his phone and the screen protector took the brunt of the hit. The phone itself was safe and no damage. And, since there are 3 comes in a package, I already have replacement handy. It also comes with a template that makes it super easy to install. Great value & great quality. Glad I purchased this.

Pros:-3 screen protectors in a pack-Comes with wipes and plastic applicator guide that allows for easy and flawless application- Doesn’t track fingerprint as much as other brand screen protectors

Cons:-There is a small gap between the edge of the screen protector and phone case (see picture). Dust and little fuzzies can get trapped there after a couple of weeks of carrying your phone around. It is easy to clean though with a q-tip or a cloth.

On December 1, 2018 I noticed a micro-scratch in the front glass of my new iPhone XS Max and decided that for the first time in my life I would add a screen protector. I’ve owned every iPhone there is and this is the first time that I’ve used a screen protector. My wife told me I should go to T-Mobile and have them install the tempered glass, but since there were three in the pack, I decided I would try one install myself. Even though I am normally clumsy with my hands and don’t see things up close very well, I was able to install the screen protector perfectly. There were bubbles, but I was able to easily work them to the sides and now everything looks great. The touch works well, but I have noticed that one or two times when I have had to touch an icon twice to open it. Not a big deal. I can’t comment on durability, because I just installed the screen protector last evening. I’m really, really happy with it though. I don’t even know it is there, and now I feel “scratch away”. I have two more that came in the pack as spares. Woo hoo!

I love these glass screen protectors. They seem to be just as high quality as my Zagg shields. My only gripe is that the alignment tool to install the glass isn’t right and left my glass sitting too low. I ended up getting one to fit right by manually installing it though so the glass itself is cut correctly. I only docked points for the bad install tool.

I was little sceptical on these because I usually run spigen but they were unavailable on release day so I gave these a try. They arrived on time and actually came with 4 in the pack so that’s a plus. It fits perfect with the alignment tool, they’re were some bubbles but you can work them out and around the edge they were vusable but you can work them all out and it looks really good. No rainbow around the screen to they have a lifetime warranty to if you send them your order number.

Really impressed with this brand of screen protector. Box comes fully stocked with what you need. Alcohol cleaning wipe, dust absorbing sticker, guide stickers, etc. There's 3 inside so you can cover multiple phones up. It was easy to do, took me less than a 5 minutes.

Boy, was I nervous about putting a glass protector on my brand new iPhone XS Max phone. No worries. This was very nicely packaged with everything you need for two applications or two iPhones.

The kit was easy enough to use for anyone - of any age. The guide fit perfectly and made for a flawless application. You need only be concerned with making sure everything is clean and dust-free.

I can't comment on its durability since it is only a month old. I also can't judge its effectiveness and I hope I never have to find out.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this brand. Made it so easy. Simply READ & follow the simple directions for a flawless installation.

SUPER company customer service too!

UPDATE THREE MONTHS: My new, top of the line Xs Max took a heart stopping smashing hard fall to the concrete. On its corner. My UAG cover and this screen protector did their job. The protector edge took the blow and cracked like it is supposed to do! I need to take it off and replace it now. BUT MY IPHONE SCREEN IS FINE.
